What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse?

Many women will experience uterine prolapse in middle age and old age. Most of these are due to overwork when they were young. However, some women do not understand their bodies clearly enough. Even if they have uterine prolapse, they do not know it. In fact, when this happens, the body has some symptoms. So what are the symptoms of uterine prolapse? Take a look at the editor’s introduction!

If we use certain surgical methods to treat uterine prolapse, there will be many issues that we need to pay attention to. In fact, our understanding of the disease of uterine prolapse also needs to be considered from the perspective of the patient's condition. However, only when we treat the disease of uterine prolapse well can we achieve the effect of treating the disease.

1. Lumbar pain, especially in the sacral area, is more obvious after work and can be relieved by resting in bed. In addition, patients feel a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, vagina, and perineum, which is aggravated by fatigue.

2. Vaginal prolapse: Patients report that a spherical object has prolapsed from the vagina, which is more obvious when walking or doing physical labor, and returns to its original position on its own after resting in bed. In severe cases of prolapse, the prolapse remains outside all day and cannot be fixed by itself. When walking, the prolapse causes friction with clothes, causing discomfort. Long-term friction may lead to ulcers, infection, increased secretions, and even bleeding. Over time, the local tissue may become thickened and keratinized.

3. Urinary tract symptoms For most patients with uterine prolapse, when they laugh, cough violently, or exert force, the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, causing urinary incontinence and urine overflow. Uterine prolapse is often accompanied by varying degrees of cystocele, but whether stress urinary incontinence occurs depends on whether the anatomical relationship between the bladder and urethra is changed. A small number of patients with uterine prolapse have difficulty urinating, which leads to urinary retention. They need to push the bulging bladder forward with their fingers before they can urinate. The cause is severe cystocele, where the enlarged bladder is located below the urethra.

4. Menstrual changes and excessive leucorrhea are caused by pelvic organ prolapse, which leads to blood circulation disorders and local congestion, affecting normal menstruation and causing excessive menstruation. In addition, due to blood circulation disorders, prolapse of organs may cause ulcers and infections, resulting in increased leucorrhea and bloody secretions.

After reading the above introduction, do you have a more comprehensive understanding of uterine prolapse? If you have a similar condition, it is necessary to go to the hospital's gynecology department for timely examination. If the uterine prolapse is more serious, you should receive timely treatment and surgery if necessary.
